I got my offer for OT. Delighted, can't believe it

niamhytbay

Hey guys!
Just logged in to my application everything gone and it just says no active content. I presumed i wouldn't get in with my hpat score but just was wondering is anyone else getting this no content page?

kateeh93

Hey I'm the exact same - trying to log on and it says he same no content message! So frustrating!! I know I won't get in either but just want to see! I asked my friend and she could get into hers so I'm not sure what's happening with it!

niamhytbay

maybe that's their way of telling us we didn't get it :L yeh i agree its frustrating. I just want to see a no if that's what is is so I can stop stressing about it :L

Hi everyone. I checked my ul profile and it says I have a conditional offer to OT, is this what other people got? I'm not sure what the condition could be? Maybe references? Any clues would be great 😊

suziob

I'd say you should probably ring them tomorrow. Maybe it's a simple thing missing from your application or something that they just need to check with you. I really don't know though

Do you think they will tell us before they contact our references? One is my current employer and I would really need to let them know in advance before they contact?

suziob

did you guys not give written references? I uploaded like a file each that my references wrote about me.. maybe that was wrong oops

Oh yes i think you're right. I couldn't rightly remember.

I'm not sure, I guess you could tell them at this point if you were made an offer. Did yours also say conditional or is it just me?

No I didn't. I think I just said the department in nuim, so will have to update that.

suziob

I think that's probably the problem then. They will probably just ask you to get two written references before a certain date or something. I think you would be best calling/ emailing in the morning. Hopefully it's not a big thing. Congrats

Thanks congrats to you too!

vanilla_bean

Mine is conditional as well, I think it's because I didn't upload my references, just gave the contact details.

panda100

Just checked and mine says unconditional. I'm sure they'll be in touch in the coming days/week.

kateeh93

@niamhytbay no my friend was unsuccessful and could see hers so I've emailed them now this morning asking for them to sort it out!

I'm in same boat as you, tbh don't expect to get in but would just like to know for sure. Congratulations to everyone who got into ot and slt!

kateeh93

I received an email back from admissions saying that the site is acting up for a number of people - and then she said there is a letter in the post for me....but I thought you only got a letter if you were accepted?! So now I've gotten nervous/excited again! Knowing my luck its a letter saying I was unsuccessful I just want to know now though!
Hopefully we'll all miraculously get in!!

Showna

Hey everyone. Congrats on getting offers and fingers crossed for everyone still waitng. I got the 42nd percentile and was offered a place just incase people are wondering about what percentiles got in.

suziob

Congrats Showna! Is that SLT or OT?

panda100

Thanks panda I will probably be on to you. Don't know how it works with just single people looking for accommodation. I don't particularily want to be grouped in with first year undergrads :P

Yeh mine still was acting up today got the letter anyways to say I didn't get in but am on a reserved list! Oh well maybe next year! Hope you got a place and well done to everyone getting in! ðŸ˜႒

nanar21

joining the conversation a little late but I have also received my acceptance letter for SLT!!! See ye all in August!

Light92

I just came home to my acceptance letter today for SLT! Didn't realise you could check them online early Congratulations all!

panda100

Great to see so many new classmates! Delighted for you all. Well done

Mags51

Got my acceptance letter today also, hadn't realised we could check online either!
Does anyone know if it's feasible to have a part time job whilst studying!?
Also congrats everyone!ðŸ˜

When I went to the SLT open day I asked some 2nd years how easy it would be to have a job and they said the course is very intense and the placement runs in to holidays/ summer. I guess if you had a very flexible job it might be doable but they said it would be difficult enough. I'm sure everyone's experience is different though. Congrats on the offer

vanilla_bean

What is everyone doing about accommodation? Just starting to research it now and not even sure where to begin!

I was thinking would anyone be looking to find a house and share ?

I'd definitely be on for a few of us joining up and finding something! At least then we'd be in similar positions work wise throughout the year

Stephied93

I'd definitely be interested in getting a few people together to start looking for somewhere! Got accepted to SLT and am so excited to start! Ive been looking into it a bit and Id say Milford Grange or Cois Ghruda would would be ideal since they're nice and not too far from the college. Although definitely avoid College Court unless you want to end up living with undergrads wanting constant house parties!

Showna

Totally agree. Should we be booking somewhere soon do you think ? Congrats also 🎉

vanilla_bean

I'd be up for looking for accomodation. Know nothing about Limerick though so I'll be a bit useless in that regard :P

Light92

I would also be up for looking for accommodation! I'm guessing it gets more difficult to find somewhere the closer it gets to September.. Ideally somewhere where you could walk to North side of the Uni easily and would have parking I heard at opening day that some commute for 2nd year if they live within driving distance as a lot of 2nd year is placement (therefore, paying 2 rents if you are sent elsewhere) but the advice given to me was to be near campus for the 1st year (1st semester especially).

tukki

Hello everybody, first time posting in this thread. I will be starting OT in September. Would be great to connect with my future classmates!

I'm 29 and from Sligo.

panda100

Well done everyone. Just in relation to accommodation. I would definitely recommend starting to look for something soon as there is a huge demand for rental accommodation in limerick at present.

You probably would be best renting a house together somewhere near the campus. There should be lots of student accommodation in Castletroy. Personally, I much rather live in town but accommodation is very scare in limerick city at the moment. There is a lovely new cycleway along the river shannon which means you can get to the main campus from limerick city in 10 minutes

Light92

Thanks for the advice Panda100!
I am looking at Lodgings for the year as I will be travelling back to Galway every weekend and they seem to work out cheaper (and include all bills) if you are only staying Monday - Friday. If anyone else is in a similar situation and would be interested in joining up in a house with 2 rooms free PM me and let me know :-)

tukki

I will also have to start looking for accommodation. I know very little about Limerick or the area around the college. I do know I'd like to avoid living on campus with undergrads because I'm too old for that now!

panda100

Guys, do we return all the forms in the brown envelope provided? Or do we have to send the course acceptance form to another address? It's a bit confusing.

tukki

Yes, I found it confusing too. So I just stuck everything in the envelope and sent it.

Yep gonna do the same

Light92

I got so confused too so ended up with two envelopes with two different addresses because the addresses were different and none of them matched the envelope address .. Im sure they will get it!
